Anurag Dobhal
Several television and reality show celebrities have come out in support of Anurag Dobhal after the YouTuber allegedly attempted suicide during an Instagram livestream that ended in a car crash. The shocking incident left fans deeply concerned and also triggered a strong reaction from many celebrities, who criticised trolls for mocking him during such a difficult time.
Dobhal, popularly known as UK07 Rider and a former contestant on Bigg Boss 17, reportedly went live on Instagram while driving at high speed on the Delhi-Dehradun highway. During the livestream, which he reportedly described as his "last ride," the situation quickly turned alarming. The video abruptly ended after his car crashed into a divider, leaving him injured. He was later rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was admitted for treatment.
Soon after the news surfaced online, several celebrities took to social media to react to the incident. Many of them not only prayed for Dobhal's recovery but also strongly condemned the trolls who were mocking him online.
Reality TV star Prince Narula was among the first to react and slammed those making insensitive remarks. Calling out trolls, he wrote, "Trollers don't understand his situation⦠shame on you." He also pointed out that people often fail to realise what someone might be going through and instead choose to make fun of serious situations. According to him, Dobhal has worked hard to build his career and deserves support rather than ridicule.
Actor Aly Goni also criticised the online trolling. Expressing disappointment at the reactions on social media, he said, "Sad reality⦠shame on you people for making fun of him. I hope he is fine. God bless him," while praying for Dobhal's recovery.
Dobhal's former Bigg Boss 17 co-contestant Abhishek Kumar also spoke about the seriousness of mental health struggles. Urging people to stop trolling, he wrote, "Suicide is not the solution⦠please stop trolling," while expressing hope that Dobhal recovers soon.
Comedian and reality show winner Munawar Faruqui also reacted to the viral video. He revealed that after watching the clip online, he tried to reach out to people close to Dobhal to check on his condition. Munawar also emphasised that personal and family problems can sometimes become overwhelming and should not be turned into online entertainment.
Actor Farrhana Bhatt also shared a message urging people to be kinder on social media. She reminded followers that many individuals silently struggle with emotional issues that others may not see.
The incident has sparked a wider conversation about mental health and the dangers of online trolling. Several celebrities and fans have urged people to show empathy and compassion, especially when someone appears to be going through emotional distress, rather than turning their pain into a subject of mockery on social media.
